Are You an Avid RVer?
Avid RVers like to make use of their RV. They are the RVers that want to take advantage of their RV whenever they can although they haven’t made the jump to full-time RVing. On average, this group uses their RV for 111 days each year (ranging from 61-150 days). The majority of this group is over the age of 55.
Almost half of the group is retired while just over a quarter of the group is working full-time. The vast majority don’t have children living at home with them.
Avid RVers like to spend time outside. Their hobbies include things like gardening and walking. They like privacy but are also comfortable around other people. Each year, they spend about 73% of their vacation time using their RV.
What Avid RVers Need in an RV
When you want to spend every chance you can in your RV, you need an RV that’s going to work for you. The last thing you want is to have to spend a lot of time preparing for your trip and packing up the RV before you hit the road. It’s helpful to have an RV that allows you to store everything you might need while you’re away.
It’s also nice to have some of the luxuries and comforts of home along on the journey with you. If you’re an Avid RVer, you spend on average a quarter of the year in your RV, which means you might not want to “rough it” when you go camping. Having a comfortable bed, room to prepare meals, a place to entertain family or friends you cross paths with, and a cozy way to spend a rainy day are some of the needs you probably want your RV to meet for you.
The most popular types of RVs for Avid Campers include travel trailers, fifth-wheels, and Class A motorhomes.
A Few RVs that are Great for Avid Campers
2022 Thor Motor Coach Palazzo 37.5
When it comes to Class A motorhomes, the Thor Coach Palazzo 37.5 checks off a lot of boxes that Avid RVers are looking for. It allows you to pack up and go easily and you don’t have to worry about towing your RV behind you. It has a half bath that can be used for guests while providing ample space and a double sink/vanity in the main bathroom. You have a great living space with a TV and fireplace. And, there is even the option to have a jackknife sofa or cozy theater seats. There is plenty of room for storing your necessities thanks to plenty of overhead cabinets and the cover on the kitchen sink allows plenty of space for meal prep.
2022 Jayco North Point 310RLTS
If you want a fifth wheel for your RVing adventures, the 2022 Jayco North Point 310RLTS is worth your consideration.
The floorplan creates privacy for the bedroom located in front by separating it from the main living space with stairs and the bathroom. There is plenty of seating in the living space for enjoying a day indoors or having guests over to visit while you travel. And, the kitchen island makes the space feel like a residential kitchen. You won’t have any problems preparing your meals on the road.
2022 Starcraft Super Lite 232MD
If you prefer a travel trailer, the 2022 Starcraft Super Lite 232MD meets the needs of Avid RVers. The rear kitchen makes it easy to keep people in the kitchen out of the way of people who are enjoying watching television or relaxing on the couch. It is just the right amount of space for a solo RVer or couple to enjoy while on the road. All of your needs are met which makes it even easier for you to head out to enjoy the day walking, hiking, fishing, golfing, or doing whatever you enjoy most.
